2. At the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu, type the number for an item and press <Enter>,
then follow the prompts to set values for these parameters:
•
Admin Mode: Enable or disable STP protocol.
•
Version: Shows which IEEE specification this meets; d = Standard; w = Rapid; s = Multiple
•
Configuration Name: Name for configuration, typically MAC address, up to 32 characters
•
Configuration Revision: Set a revision level between 1 and 65535
•
Priority: Set the relative precedence within the STP control structure for the 9161, from 1
(highest) to 65534 (lowest). The highest priority sets the root bridge, the bridge that controls
the spanning tree. If two or more bridges share the same priority, the lowest MAC address
defines the highest priority.
•
Hello Time (sec): Set how often the 9161 sends BPDUs if this 9161 is the Spanning Tree
root.
•
Forward Delay (sec): Set the time between port state transitions from Learning to Forward if
this bridge is the STP root.
•
Max Age (sec): Set the Timeout value, how fast the 9161 deletes addresses from the
forwarding database.
•
BPDU Forwarding Mode: Normal, Blocking, or Forwarding On Same VLAN
